51-year-old drug ‘pusher’ in Accra and his 42-year-old wife arrested by NACOC
A 51-year-old drug dealer and his 42-year-old wife, who are said to be supplying illegal drugs in Accra, have been arrested by the Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC).
Accra's Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) has arrested a 51-year-old drug dealer and his 42-year-old wife for allegedly supplying illegal drugs in the city. The pair, identified as Jibreel Hardi and Abiba Fatawu, were detained during a joint operation with National Security operatives on Thursday, September 3, 2026. According to NACOC officials, Jibreel Hardi was on his way to meet a buyer when he was intercepted in Weija, Ga South Municipality, at around 11 am.
Intelligence gathering over an extended period led to the operation. During the arrest, a search of his vehicle revealed large quantities of dried leaves suspected to be Indian hemp (cannabis) and packets of Tramadol. The team then moved to Jibreel's residence, where more suspected cannabis, Tramadol, and a firearm with 50 rounds of 9mm ammunition were found.
Abiba Fatawu, Jibreel's wife, was also arrested as an accomplice. Both suspects are currently in NACOC custody and are undergoing processing for court proceedings, along with forensic examination of the seized items.
